PHP is an active open source web development language. With its foundation laid in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf, it has become one of the most widely practiced technologies for web development.

PHP is highly scalable and can operative over multiple web servers. It has excellent support for various databases including MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Oracle and more making it a language of choice for web development projects in both open source and commercial environments. In fact, numerous commercial and open source CMS are based on PHP including Joomla, Mambo amongst others.
